[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phonetrips:
I'm having the weirdest problem and I'm wondering whether it is hardware or software. I have searched everywhere and only found one person with a similar situation and he had already sent it back for repair before anyone responded with things for him to try.

My 16gb Nexus 7 is rooted/unlocked using the Nexus Root Toolkit and at the latest OTA version. It had been working fine for months. Suddenly one day I had serious problems (which I can discuss if anyone cares, but I don't think the original problems are relevant at this point.) I gave up troubleshooting and decided to do a factory reset. But no matter what method I do, the next time I boot the device it comes back into my same buggy system and nothing was wiped or reset at all. All of these methods appear to work and give the normal messages you would expect, but then nothing changed. It's like the Flash ram is somehow set to read-only so attempts to write to it are failing.

What I have tried:

Settings Factory Data Reset and press the Erase Everything button. The tablet pauses a while, then shuts down and reboots. The old system comes back.

I go into recovery mode, choose function wipe data/factory reset, scroll down to Yes to confirm it. A bunch of progress messages show on the screen that the partitions are being formatted. I boot afterwards and the old system comes back.

I follow all the steps in articles like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1907796

Every fastboot command completes normally with progress messages showing that it worked. I reboot and the old system comes back.

Here is another clue: The fastboot oem lock command completes normally, but nothing changes. The padlock icon at the next boot is still open.

That's why I say that the tablet is acting as though the Flash memory is set to read-only somehow because nothing ever changes. Is it possible that this is a hardware problem, or is there something else I can do in software?

Bump One for OP

:)

hope your problem gets solved...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
1. If you wipe this way and then do not install another rom, then the old system will just reload.

2. Which recovery are you using TWRP or CWM? Maybe try an alternative recovery?

3. Go into recovery/mounts and storage/ then select format system and then install another rom such as stock and see what happens..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phonetrips:
1. I guess my wording was ambiguous. When I said that the old system comes back, I didn't mean only that the old OS comes back, but that EVERYTHING comes back immediately including all my apps, settings, wallpaper, widgets, everything looks like it always did. I don't get the first-time screens inviting me to log in, or anything like that. The system boots completely normally as though I hadn't used those methods of wiping the user data.

Also one of the things I tried was loading a new system using fastboot commands and the new system seemed to get loaded OK. But I reboot and the buggy system is back and my user data has not been wiped.

2. I'm not sure what you mean and will research that later this evening. For now, I can tell you that I used the Nexus Root Toolkit and I am using whatever it installed.

3. I'm not sure what you mean, but will research that and if I can figure it out, I will try it this evening.

Is it a clue that the command "fastboot oem lock" seems to work, but the lock status doesn't change?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
What I am trying to say (very badly) is the system on your phone will hold all your settings along with the OS. When you factory reset/wipe data, it will clear everything out....but, if you then reboot the phone, it will have to reload the old OS as it has nothing to load otherwise. This will include all your previous apps and settings.

When you have wiped all your data, you need to install another 'system/rom' to allow the phone to boot it. Or as I said, it will just reboot the old one.

Try looking for a rooted stock rom in a zip file like this one and put it on your sd card. When you have entered recovery and wiped data/factory reset, then select install from sd card, find the zip and select. The recovery will then flash it and when you reboot, you should be at the setup pages.

Using the Nexus toolkit and ADB is challenging at the best of times. Maybe it is easier if you just use the recovery method as explained above.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phonetrips:
When I go into the recovery mode at boot time, the menu says I am using "Android system recovery <3e>"

According to all documentation I have seen, erasing the user partition is all I should need to do to wipe out all of my data, and this works perfectly on a different tablet that I have. I really shouldn't need to do anything else, which is why my situation is so strange.

The Nexus 7 doesn't have an SD card slot so I can't do the things you are saying that involve installing things from sd. Maybe there is a way to do the same thing via the portion of Flash that simulates an sd card, but the recovery menus don't have any way to do that, at least not that I can find.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
I saw that you are rooted then I assumed you were using a custom recovery like Clockworkmod or TWRP.

When I wrote SD I meant the internal storage, sorry for the confusion.

I would be flashing a recovery again, it seems to be causing the problem. You can do this through Nexus tools.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phonetrips:
When you say to use "Nexus tools", do you mean the the tools that are part of the Nexus Root Toolkit? I did use those tools to format and rebuild the recovery partition, and it didn't help at all.

If you mean tools that I need to install as apps within Android, that isn't possible at the moment because the tablet is so unstable that when I reboot, I get all my old stuff for a few seconds so I know nothing changed, and then it reboots before I have a chance to do anything.

If you mean that I should mount the Android flash ram as a folder on my PC, I only seem to be able to do that for the few seconds that the system is booted and then the folder drops off. The only mode where I can keep the tablet powered on and stable is the boot menu and the recovery menu. Is there a way to mount the drive at that time?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonEsch:
Fast boot a custom recovery. Fastboot recovery c:/path/recovery.IMG

Path being whatever path you have to the recovery you chose to download. Then wipe data/factory reset, maybe wipe cache and dalvik since you're there. Then reboot, see what happens. Still buggy, download another ROM, there are stock-ish ones out there, or you can choose cm or AOKP:)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phonetrips:
Iv'e done all that and nothing changes whatsoever. The problem isn't that I have a buggy Android system, but rather that all commands to format and erase that system are ignored.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phonetrips:
Actually I was wrong, I never did load a recovery image like you said, although I did at one point use one that the Nexus Root Toolkit installed.

So I found a recovery image, downloaded it, and did this:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-grouper.img

But nothing changes, partly because maybe I don't know what to do with this thing that I just loaded. If I use the menu to go into recovery mode, I get the normal recovery menu I have always gotten.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonEsch:
Flash the cwm one, maybe that will work?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phonetrips:
Before I try a different one, can you please tell me what is supposed to happen after I give that fastboot command to flash the recovery image, Should the tablet go into that recovery manager immediately, or do I need to do something first to make it show up?

I went ahead and found/downloaded the cwm one. The same thing happened: I don't see it running and if I go into recovery mode I get the normal recovery, not this one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Sorry, but this is completely wrong. When you do a factory reset, it wipes /data and /cache, which doesn't affect the OS at all because the OS resides on the /system partition. When you do a factory reset and reboot, you will run into the initial setup screen for whatever ROM you have installed. No user data/apps will be present.

This seems really screwy. I'd say either your device is defective, or... Well I don't really know what else it could be. The fact that fastboot commands fail is a good indicator that something is screwed up. Have you tried wiping things through fastboot? It may be worth a shot, just know how to flash a ROM through it when you're done. I'm talking "fastboot erase -----" where ---- is replaced by system, data, or whatever. Just DO NOT erase the bootloader. Boot, however, is fine.

If all of this fails, it would seem that the device memory is defective.

About your recovery question, it will only go into recovery when you tell it to either from bootloader or ADB. And stock Android will try to remove CWM, so first time you need to go to recovery straight from the bootloader and let it make itself permanent when it asks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phonetrips:
I have used fastboot erase ---- and fastboot format --- for system and everything else. Whether or not I flash new code to those partitions, all of this is ignored and the system continues to boot as it always has, with all my stuff.

After flashing the alternate recovery images, absolutely nothing changes when I choose Recovery Mode from the fastboot menu.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phonetrips:
I talked to Google Play support and they sending out a replacement one. They never asked whether I had ever unlocked or rooted it and I didn't volunteer anything, just told them the symptoms I am having. But I have to send the old one back after I receive the new one, and there is a chance they won't accept if for warranty service when they see it,
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
That is true, since you can't change anything, they will probably know you voided the warranty. The only thing you could do is brick it permanently by erasing the bootloader... Not sure if that would work/help.

Hey there :)

I'm trying to compile some custom kernels posted by members. However I've been having issues with compiling.

I'm using the latest Linaro toolchain, 4.7.

The error I receive is

lib1funcs.o unknown CPU architecture

and

piggy.gzip.o unknown CPU architecture

Anyone got any solutions?

I've found a solution for a different device (Samsung I think) however it doesn't work :/

I would be willing to change toolchains :)

Thanks

[Nook Touch General] UnknownNewb:
I creating this thread mainly to share my experience with VNCing with Nook, and to find out, how many people using Nook this way. Also Im especially interested in how to set up fast VNC connection on Linux.

Im using RealVNC on Windows, and Remote VNC Pro - VNC viewer for Nook. Very important feature in RealVNC is mirror driver - it gives great performance boost, and allow achieve good response times and smooth working with e-ink display. Also I tried UltraVNC and TightVNC. TightVNC also gave good latency (after several tweaks with captures per second rate), but also it was crashing every time. Under "good response times" I mean about 0.5 sec and less. As viewer app I also tried RealVNC viewer for Android, but it was unable to connect to server to server, I think its compatibility issue.

With this setup I use computer on work, and pretty glad that I find this technique. Most of time Im working with code - and e-ink perfectly fit to this purpose. I find that, with Nook my eyestrain after working day significantly decreased, and that I can more effectively concetrate on my tasks when working with e-ink. Also its good to read articles on web just as e-book.

Main goal in this - good light. I use lamp with long bulb with two long tubes ending with horseshoe-like connection. It length somthing like 1.3 of longest side of NST, and it gives good, uniform light coverage of display. The only disadvantage is that lamb "head" needs to be placed right above ebook. Probably with more powerful bulb this limitation can be eliminated.

Now Im llooking for way to setup connection on Linux (Ubuntu). I tried x11vnc - and it gives me much worse performance. Now im thinking about tweaking x11vnc, and about trying RealVNC for Linux.

So - if somebody familiar with using Nook through VNC - comment!
[Nook Touch General] myself11:
I've thought of using Nook's screen like that, but didn't know how.

Can you make a little "how-to"? Do use Opera on Nook Touch rooted or the vnc android app?
[Nook Touch General] jago25_98:
I was using it for a while until I figured out I needed glasses more than an eink display!!
[Nook Touch General] osowiecki:
I use AndroidVNC + x11vnc on my Gnu/Linux machine.

To make it work you have to :

- set up port forwarding on your router, on port 5900-5901.

- check your PC's IP adress.

- run x11vnc

- connect to your PC's IP using AndroidVNC

Tip :

Use NookTouchTools to set up a key for 'CAMERA' button and 'MENU'.

- Holding Menu button will force Android keyboard to show up.

- Holding Camera button and touching the screen will act as the right mouse button.

I have an issue where I bought the phone off amazon UK brand new. It's not carrier branded. And i have no idea of where it came from. I updated the phone to 2.3.4 V20e from 2.3.4 V20c through the Lg updater.

When i choose the firmware. does it matter which region i choose? the closest to me is france for v20e. As I am in ireland.

tldr; Does it matter which v20e firmware region i choose? Or is there another option.

I was using this guide to root my p970

before i posted，i had brushed my 9100，

but whatever before or latter，the camera problem is the same

on that page，= =all of their version are 4.xx,and no Chinese version,i use 2.3.6

ps:my camera ver is so strange,that is VCFA01, phone ver is TBEC28

phone comes from Europe,and when i bought it ,it brushed

I do not know what they did to my phone

so i brush my phone with a original official hongkong rom ,[ including apboot,csc,pit,code,modem]

then used cf xxzski3 kernel to root

finally brushed a original zski3 kernel

........these are changes i did for my 9100

is there any other way i can try？

Hi all,

A few weeks ago i got a DNA and overall i like it but i am becoming increasingly frustrated with the sense. Nothing major just some glitchy little things that are rather irritating.

First off I dont like the default messaging app that comes with the phone. Its slow and lacks features such as a little checkmark when sending texts to other verizon customers recieve a text. the only way i have found to get this is to get a notification in the status bar every time one is delivered which is annoying when a small checkmark next to the text will suffice. I also do not like the skins they have for it, as i prefer an iphone bubble look to my texts. Thus i have resorted to third party sms apps such as handcent, gosms, and iphone messages by barleystudios. with all three of these i have the same issue that seems to be caused by the sense. Neither the icon in the dock/homescreen or in the pulldown bar will display a small unread count on the icon as they are supposed to and the Sense seems to block the message preview box under the lock screen completely when receiving a new text while lockscreen is engaged. Anyone know how to fix this or an app that this isnt an issue with?

Also i have a macbook and use iCal and i have synced it with my gmail account but the app on my phone and iCal dont seem to want to communicate at all. Any fix for this?
